Colorful garden snail
Uploaded: September 09, 2013 11:28:38
These creatures are extremely small and are actually fast moving considering that they slime about with a shell on their back.Iv'e seen them with spots and stripes and in shells made of a lot of different colors. The purple,yellow and white striped ones are my favs.Not an easy subject to photograph either but I like them.They have been around forever and really know how to survive.
